TRUMP CLAIM: “When I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years, and some would say in the history of our country.”
UNTRUE, when TACO took office January of 2025, Inflation was at 3%.
In 2022, it was at 9% but that is not the worst its been in 48 years... It was worse at points in the 1970's and 1980's.
TRUMP CLAIM: “Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon into much of the country. In some states, it, by the way, just hit $1.99 a gallon.”
"Nationally, gas prices averaged $2.90 per gallon in the week ending Dec. 15, according to the Energy Information Administration, a government statistical agency. Estimates from nongovernment trackers, like GasBuddy and AAA, were similar.
"It is possible that specific gas stations have prices as low as Mr. Trump heralded. But according to AAA, just four states had average gas prices below $2.50 on Wednesday, with Oklahoma reporting the lowest average price at $2.34 a gallon. There were no states with average gas prices below $2."
TRUMP CLAIM: “Already, I’ve secured a record-breaking $18 trillion of investment into the United States.”
WRONG, Trump's own white house says its half that. https://www.whitehouse.gov/investments/
For a 10 minute speech, even though he spoke very fast, that is a lotta lying. Did you fall for it?
